Hi Kyak
switch the buildhost from 64 to 32 will be some work. :( good news is
I have a 32bit server which is only host my blog. I think better we build
both 64bit and 32bit. (since the compile script file is pretty stable.
I will test and report)

the SDK tarball is almost twice size then before. so it is time
we enable the TOOLCHAIN again.

I will try to build both 64bit and 32bit in next few days. the linux version
is 3.0 not 3.1 since the openwrt upstream is using the linux-3.0 now.
their are a lot of generic patch on openwrt like: 'openwrt-xburst/target/linux/generic'
I don't want touch them and focus on ben nanonote. so it is linux-3.0 in next release. :)
thanks kyak
